A 65-year-old woman with a past medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia presents as an emergency. She was at home when she suddenly experienced weakness in her right arm and slurred speech. Her husband noticed that her face appeared droopy on one side and she had difficulty raising her right arm. The episode lasted for over an hour before things returned to normal. Her husband brought her to the clinic for evaluation. On examination, her blood pressure is 162/94 mmHg, she is in sinus rhythm at 72 bpm and there are no focal neurological findings. She reports feeling back to normal. The diagnosis is a transient ischaemic attack. What is the most appropriate management plan?
